I edited ~/.local/share/user-places.xbel to remove all the automatically added or obsolete entries and the file was reduced to about 650 lines. I opened Dolphin and moved one bookmark up one place in the Places list. Even with the smaller file, the operation was still slow (requiring about 3 seconds to complete). After this simple operation, ~/.local/share/user-places.xbel increased to 997 lines and many of the entries I had removed were restored. The automatically restored entries are all of this type: <separator href=...."> <info> <metadata owner="http://www.kde.org";> <UDI>/org/kde/fstab/....</UDI> <isSystemItem>true</isSystemItem> <IsHidden>false</IsHidden> </metadata> <metadata owner="http://freedesktop.org";> <bookmark:icon name="network-server"/> </metadata> </info> <title>... on server</title> </separator> I do not need any of those in Places. These include 20 automatically added "Remote devices" and 7 "Devices". I have 35 of my own bookmarks and those are all I need. After the first test, repeated tests (moving a bookmark in Places) also require about 3 seconds. (Until a recent Dolphin change a few weeks ago, this operation was nearly instant.) The file ~/.local/share/user-places.xbel remains at 997 lines after these repeated tests, as I'm sure you would have expected. Adding or removing bookmarks in Places is not the only function that is slow now. I experience extensive slowness with operations in the file panes under some circumstances. However, so far I am unable to give exact steps to reproduce it. It seems to happen when I have had Dolphin open all day. Hope that info helps. Thank you.
